20 year veteran returning you drive after a few years away

[Wilson1397]

No, just semi-retired with personal business/company that was much easier on the body and mind!

So, you think it will be easier on your body and mind this time around?

20 years of service takes a toll on body. Years spent away, I'm in best physical condition, weight and stress- free (single now, kids grown) and I'm in much better condition too come back and add years to my existing pension

You were in the armed forces and came back retaining your employee id # the same? Is this correct?

 

[Geitje]

No, wasn't in the armed forces, but yes got old employee id back - XXXXXXX. So started a number of years ago - 1989

Did you really give us 10 tries to learn your identity?

So you retained the years of service for vacation weeks?

Quick question - going back to work as full time driver after a few years of hiatus. Worked previously for 20 years, obviously at top pay then. Question: anyone know how my pay progression proceeds considering my previous service and now coming in "off the street" on a 6 and 1?

What the hell? Did you bump your head when you were off?

You have been gone for 10 years and want to try again at your age? Good luck.

How many years till you get a summer vacation???

"You can have 3 weeks in a row, as long as they are in January or February."

Not awesome.

You pick off the feeder list??

I actually prefer winter vacations. I hate working in cold weather.

Do you drop to the bottom of the list?

Yes.

 

[3 done 3 to go]

We have a 20 yr plus driver who had 8 yrs of teamsters work. Left for 5 yrs. Came back as a loader. Gains full time driver. Now has 25 yrs. Looking to retire early. The union informs him that the previous 8 yrs won't count. You better find this out. Or it's gonna really suck for you.

You will start over at the beginning of progression. Your pension, you will have to re-vest.

Your first part of that sentence is correct; however, the second part is not. As long as he signed a withdrawal card not only will he still be vested but he will not have to pay back dues and/or a second initiation fee. His pension will pick up where it left off.

What does the withdrawal card have to do with the pension?

Break in service.

 

[UPS Preloader]

Break in service.

One the pension is vested, it’s vested. Assuming they are still in the same pension, any new credits earned will be applied to the vested pension.

If working towards a different pension, he’ll keep his old pension and start working on another one.
